All they did was slightly decrease horizontal recoil and everyone in here is acting like it’s an EZ PZ God gun now. It still does the same amount of damage, still has the same 20 round mag, and still has that crazy vertical recoil. It’s a good weapon, but not exactly auto-win.
Nah it’s more of an FG appreciation thread
Lewis is still bae
I don’t think it is OP at all I just thought it was fine before the buff.
Lewis used to be my bae too but I could’ve sworn they nerfed it a month or two ago and I haven’t gone back to it since
Lewis is terrible. Even after you apply all the accuracy specializations, it jumps around like a mad cow. I suspect the specializations are not working on the Lewis.
This is so false. The Lewis is one of the best weapons in the game.
There is a tad of recoil, but it can be handled.
Oh, on pc it will be a hoot!
But it bounces all over the place on my PS4 Pro.
Did I get a different version of BF V, cos I’m starting to think so now.
You must have, because it works fine on Xbox X.
Lewis was love but I’m also convinced it was either stealth nerfed of caught up in the MMG double bipod recoil bug. My favorite is now the Bren.
I didn’t notice a nerf. That said, I rarely use the bipod with it.
The bren and fg42 are also delicious.
The support is in a pretty good place when it comes to weapons.
They definitely stealth nerfed it
They nerfed the aimed recoil too much and didn’t do enough to nerf the hipfiring accuracy
It was definitely nerfed. Even if you apply all the accuracy specializations, it is still really hard to control.
too much bad recoil horinzotally for bren gun, it feels like you lost your reatcion and aim skills after so much time of playing the game
a better question would be, why the ZK nerf?
I don’t get it, before the nerf it was a viable choice between Suomi and other SMGs, but now it is nowhere near competitive.
They took the nerf too far as usual
Because medics can’t have anything good. A Gamechanger said this, DICE is scared to give medic a “good gun” out of fear of making the medic “too good.” This is why the ZK was nerfed. It was the one high rate of fire smg that had a consistent recoil pattern which led it to having decent range for its rate of fire. All of a sudden medics had a weapon that could stand toe to toe with the high rate of fire ARs and LMGS and DICE sure as hell wasn’t going to let that stand.
Me too (apart from the Tommygun). I always go for the ROF or bullet traveltime buffs. I mean, it is obvious: if you shoot more bullets faster or/and they reach your enemy faster than incoming bullets = you increase you chances in the stand-offs
